What is Bone Density Scan (DEXA/DXA)?
- The most common method for measuring bone mineral density today.
- Uses two different energy levels of X-rays to analyze bone density in the lumbar spine and hip.
- Detects bone loss within the body.
Radiation and Safety
- Radiation dose is very low — about one-tenth of a chest X-ray.
- Safe, quick, and painless process.
- Examination takes about 10 minutes.
Osteoporosis Characteristics
- Known as the "silent disease," often discovered only after fractures occur.
- Post-menopausal women experience significant bone density decline due to reduced estrogen.
- Women face 4 times higher risk than men of the same age.
Bone Physiology and Risks
- Bones are living cells that continuously rebuild new bone to replace old.
- In osteoporosis patients, bone breakdown outpaces rebuilding, making bones fragile.
- Minor impacts or falls can cause fractures; hip fractures have the highest mortality rate among fragility fractures in Hong Kong.
If you have the following high-risk factors, it is recommended to undergo regular bone mineral density testing to prevent fractures:
• Family history of osteoporosis
• Low physical activity levels
• Underweight
• Malnutrition
• Alcohol consumption and smoking
• Taking medications for the treatment of asthma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer
